[Vibrant Android Development] MV10:
Wiping stats "a few times" is pointless. When you wipe stats, Android assumes your battery is 100% and starts learning from there. When you wipe it again, you're just ditching everything it learned since the last wipe.

Charge to 100%, wipe it, use your phone normally, and that's it. There is some question about whether it's best to run your phone down until it shuts itself off the first time, or whether you should plug it in when it's very low, just before it shuts itself off. I've done it both ways and haven't really seen any difference.

The battery estimation will get more accurate over time as you use the phone in different ways and as you recharge from different points, too.

It's always showing you an *estimate* of the remaining juice. Also, without doing a detailed comparison of your exact usage, the apps you have running, and the strength and reliability of the various signals your phone is exposed to over time, you really can't compare battery life with anyone else except in the most vague and abstract sense.

Charge, wipe, use, and move on. That's the best you can do.

[Vibrant Android Development] SAI Peregrinus:
There are both software and hardware problems with the Vibrant's GPS system. This rom has the deep-sleep problem. The hardware fix he is describing is useful for many vibrants that came with a defective GPS antenna connection. The antenna is under the slightly lighter colored plastic next to the volume button and speaker. By shimming the connector under this one can cause a better connection between the antenna and the mainboard. By taping the antenna down over this area one may also provide a bit more pressure. Not every vibrant has hardware problems, and you have confused an anecdote (your experience) with data (the experiences of many vibrant owners as a set). I highly advise you not to confuse an absence of evidence with an evidence of absence or to confuse anecdotes with data.

I was under the assumption that I was one of few having TV Out not working correctly. I posted twice with no reply. I have made the adjustments to NTSC. The issues I am having are great sound, but no picture except while transitioning to and from landscape mode. I have started over and reflashed both 10.5 and 10.6 but have no success. If yours is working then I would like to know what I need to do to get mine working. I often show video clips before my weekly meetings using this feature. I am afraid this will be a deal breaker for me if I can't get it to work. That would make me sad because I love this ROM! ANY help would be great. Thanks.

Not sure if this has been posted but here was my install experience.

I had CM7, formatted my /system and clear the cache. When I installed the zip the phone got stuck in a reboot loop, I would see the basic VIBRANT white text, then the Android installer before it would reboot.

Couldn't get back into recovery, so I plugged in my phone to my computer to reflash back to stock with Odin and for some reason the installer took and the ICS Passion installed.

Hi, question: do you use google navigation or another app like Waze for navigation. If you use google navigation, how did you get google navigation to recognize the external GPS?

Thanks,
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
As long as your bluetooth is on and the bluetooth on the external GPS, you should just be able to select it under your bluetooth items

CPU spy says my phone is not deep sleeping.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
Now you know that a app is keeping it awake, i think theres a app that tells you which apps are awake, but i can't remember name.

It is usually Facebook for me if i set it to sync, can be Gmail etc. I usually find out that its apps that sync often.

Try freezing/uninstalling those apps, see for a hour or two if it goes to deep sleep, if it does, great! if not, install them back if you need them and try other apps?

In my experience, anything that uses GPS/Locations kills Deep Sleep (And Deep Sleep kills GPS).

Try rebooting and NOT using anything that uses location/GPS, and see if the phone Deep Sleeps then

I love this rom but the music app is not working!

This problem existed ever since I've been using ICS

Randomly the music player would say

Can't play the track requested

I tried few steps other replies said but none of them work now..

Tried storage unmount

Erasing dalvik cache

Data erase

Fix permission...

What could have I gone wrong.?
[Vibrant Android Development] tiebmbr:
I get the same issue in Google Music as well as Player Pro. The problem is that I tried the "Clear Data" from Media Storage fix and now NO media shows up. I try to rescan for media, and it never shows back up, even after several reboots. Only restoring a backup will make the media reappear, although duplicates will also return again.

ANY other ideas to correct this, besides just it being an inherent flaw in ICS right now?
[Vibrant Android Development] airhop7:
Data erase is that clear data on media storage? Have you tried clearing media storage? I did and it worked now.
[Vibrant Android Development] airhop7:
I was in the same boat but I figured after clearing media storage you have to open up Google music and don't close it but press hone key and let it load, give it time everything should load. Let me know if that worked
[Vibrant Android Development] rietpetiet:
Thanks for your reply.

I can indeed select the external GPS under Bluetooth items, that works fine.

But when I attach the external GPS via Bluetooth, disable the internal GPS and then try to use Google Navigation, Google Navigation asks me to enable the (internal) GPS otherwise it won't run.

The fact that Google Navigation asks to activate the internal GPS even though an external GPS is successfully attached, makes me think that Google Navigation only works with internal GPS, not external GPS.

On a side note, I *can* use the external GPS with Waze navigation. It's just that I prefer to stuck with Google Navigation if possible.

So, is there a way to use Google Navigation with an external GPS?

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] VVerevvolf:
Same here - I just downloaded PowerAMP. It does cost a couple of buck but no more problems. Also Google music would split albums up - PowerAMP does not do this.
[Vibrant Android Development] TheContinental:
Sure, first reboot so nothing's running. Then, go to Settings on your phone. Then scroll down about halfway to Storage (under Device). Then scroll down all the way, and hit "Unmount SD card." Wait for it to unmount, then hit "Mount SD card."

Ditto. I've charged with a generic two-battery charging dock, a desktop PC, a laptop, and a car charger. I've even charged with those retractable micro USB cables.

GPS and MP3 finally working.

I followed the instructions posted. Loaded GB loader, formated system, wiped data and cache. Flashed rom and got bootloop. Did a battery pull and went back to recovery and reflashed. Rom seem to load fine at this point, but mp3s would not play and gps was nonexistant(no responses of any kind from the gps in angry scanner). I tried redownloading the rom and relashing over top(wiped only data\dalvic\cache) 3 times to no avail. Finally did another full data\dalvic\cache wipe, plus formated system and reflashed and Im happy to say everything is working!! :) This rom rocks. Its fast and so far stable, battery life is a about the same as my old bionixv2 w\bali UV. This is my new daily driver :)

Huge thanks to the devs on this rom! I thought my vibrant was long forgotten and would never see the light of ICS.

Hope the info above helps, or at least gives hope to anyone having the mp3 or gps issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] TFordham:
Did you flash the GB bootloader? If you didn't.....why not?!?! If you did, then no idea.

Anyone else have issues getting ADB to list the device ('adb devices') while running this ROM? I'm using the same drivers I always have since stock, froyo, GB, etc.; no luck with reinstalling the drivers either. ADB lists no device at all..
[Vibrant Android Development] shreddintyres:
I have been, im trying everything so far i cant seem to get it to work even after installing the usb drivers from the sdk and rebooting my rig, i have yet to try different usb ports tho that could take a while since i have something like 10 ports
[Vibrant Android Development] n3td3v:
I had this same issue. I resolved it by formatting the SD card from the phone (not the PC), and then mounting the SD card and moving my data backup back to the SD card. Seems the backup of the SD card after upgrading to ICS (prior to formatting the SD card) was worthless as my MP3 collection had gotten corrupted somehow, so I did use an old backup to restore all of my libraries.

For your sake, try a SD card format via the phone and then mount the phone via your PC, copy some MP3s to the SD card, unmount, reboot and see if Google Music recognizes those. That's the basics of how I resolved the same issue you had and it worked for me.

---------- Post added at 06:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 AM ----------

I have never used the ADB USB drivers as I read on old XDA posts long ago that those do not work. There is a post here and those are the drivers that I have always used that worked for me. Now that I am on ICS (v10.6), they no longer work for me when attempting to get ADB to list the device.

Anyone care to enlighten us to what has been/is working for them using ADB?

Issues i have found in this rom

This rom was really great for me, blazing fast, smooth and good looking:D....but there is still i found some bugs.

let me know if these issues are just in my phone...;)

* When i play real football or any game after 1 or 2 minutes the app crash..

* As we all know the only known issue of any ICS custom rom mute-unmute issue..

* The sound is low in this rom i dont know why but when i tried another ICS rom or my stock froyo rom i felt this roms sound volume is half of them.

* There is no way to know which contacts are on sim and which are on phone. There is no sign for that.

* Is there any way to hack the camera or add a hacked camera on the rom.

I really loved it...you did a great job... I am looking forward...maybe one day this could be the only best ICS rom....:cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] Moped_Ryder:
I know people have been able to rectify the google music issue differently, but I thought Id suggest what worked for me.

When restoring my contacts through the .vcf file on my sdcard, it only restored a partial number of them and idk why this is happening? And solution on how to get all the contacts from it? and delete the contacts currently on the list?
[Vibrant Android Development] Dmkjr:
Never heard of this being a problem before. However, why not just use Google as your cloud service to backup your contacts? Then no matter how many times you flash to another ROM or upgrade from your current situation, your contacts will all sync in correctly.

I've heard of contacts being a concern awhile back, the early Froyo day's, but development usually starts off getting Google services working.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
I would recommend you go back into another rom miui or w/e

sync all your contacts to google

come back

sync them all back

it makes everything so much easier since ICS doesn't seem to have sim support.

Much to my dissapointment, they did not.

Any suggestions?

I am NOT talking about "rainbows" from not having the GB bootloader (which I have installed). I am talking about the splash screen that has the shattering/breaking rainbow sphere. My phone gets stuck at that. For some reason, it started happening yesterday. This is v8, which ive been running since it was released.

Anyone have any ideas how I can get this to bootup correctly? I need to backup some apps/data before flashing to 10.6.

You can mount the SD card from the recovery menu. So if you have a titanium backup you just have to copy the folder. :)

[Vibrant Android Development] androidmonkey:
lol, it seems I am not explaining myself correctly. I cannot boot into ICS on my phone. It wont go past the shattering multi-colored sphere screen. Ive been running v8 since release, just yesterday it hasnt been able to boot correctly. I plan on flashing v10 but I would like to get my apps/data back. I can get into CWR though and do a nandroid backup. I do not have a Titanium backup because I cannot get into ICS to make that backup.
[Vibrant Android Development] sada23:
Flash the v8 once again without wiping anything. That might work. Once you are in v8. Do a TB backup of all your apps. Else, flash the v10.6 as per the instructions in the OP.
[Vibrant Android Development] TheContinental:
Yes, that's how it goes. You shouldn't be on the "Preparing SD card, checking for errors" screen for long. My 16GB external card takes maybe ten seconds to prepare and check. Then, if you go back to Settings, you'll see that your card is indeed mounted again.
[Vibrant Android Development] androidmonkey:
I tried that already. It seems that the ROM formats everything during install.
[Vibrant Android Development] airhop7:
My guess is you just have to install 10.6 and re download your apps :/
[Vibrant Android Development] Saint787:
Try flashing another kernel.

What titanium does is to copy data files to sdcard. Nothing fancy.

Reporting on battery life!!

Brilliant battery life, moderate use, deep sleep works really well.

[Vibrant Android Development] shinglers:
boot into recovery do a back up. after you have flashed new ROM go back into recovery goto restore and then advanced restore and restore data. All your apps will be restored. when you flash a ROM it only formats system memory not internal SD card. there are 3 areas of memory... system memory, internal SD card and external SD card. to be safe when in recovery mount SD card which is your Internal SD card, your computer will see it, copy your contents and move on. i hope this helps!

ADB gives you access to your system memory where android is installed!

Comment from the Moderator

Hi all, Oka1 here I want to really thank Neobuddy89 for his Dev in ICS work but also, especially, all of you. As moderators, we normally are just trying to keep the peace and keep people in line....... Since I moderate more than one forum I see lot of the goings on.

Since ICS came to this phone, the Vibrant supporters have really pulled together and made this forum one of the best from one of the worst forums in XDA. And that is because of all of you and all of your dedication. Keep it up .......and the VIBRANT LIVES ON !!!!!

Thanks all..... oka1:cool::cool::D
